    Touchpad Synaptics Tapping issue [Solved]

    if you have issues with tapping function or scrolling function with your touchpad, then you can type the following in terminal to fix it

    Code:
    modprobe -r psmouse
    modprobe psmouse proto=imps

    to make the changes persistant create a file under /etc/modprobe.d with anyname.conf

    Code:
    options psmouse proto=imps
    followed the debian wiki at this link for this fix: http://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad

    My touchpad scrolling was working and my touchpad clicking wasn't working before I typed in

    modprobe -r psmouse
    modprobe psmouse proto=imps

    After I typed in those commands in my konsole my touchpad scrolling WASN'T working and my touchpad clicking WAS working. Does it matter that I typed those commands in KDE desktop? I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question :/

    Well, just in case someone had the same problem as me, I went to http://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad like Audi-1 said and installed synaptics because I didn't have it installed. -_- After that I just went into system settings > input devices > touchpad to enable touchpad clicking. Hope this helps someone in the future!

    Thanks, These worked for tapping:
    Code:
    modprobe -r psmouse
    modprobe psmouse proto=imps
    But making changes peristant did not work. I made a file synaptics.conf in /etc/modprobe.d then ran the code
    Code:
    options psmouse proto=imps
    but it did not work.

    Plus tuchpad scrolling is not working any guidance in that regard?

    It's working but only if you dont't restart the pc, otherwise you must enter these commands again and again. Thanks anyway !

    This is what worked for me, I had too install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics,

    sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

    sudo leafpad /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf

    At the beginning of the file under Section “InputClass” add;

    Option "TapButton1" "1"

    It should look like this;

    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "touchpad catchall"
    Driver "synaptics"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    Option "TapButton1" "1"


    That's it, now after restarting the touchpad will work, the last step is optional to enable scrolling add;

    Option "VertEdgeScroll" "1"
    Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "1"

    Logout or reboot.
